Mr. Chairperson, I would suggest to you as a client, and the government being the client, that they do have the ability, if they choose, to share a legal opinion.
Given the fact that we have had so many presentations, so many concerns in regard to the mandatory detention issue, again I would suggest, in the form of a possible question to the member—and it will be my last question on this particular clause, in relation to it—that whether it's in camera or in public, I think there would be great value to answering a lot of the concerns if in fact we would be able to see a legal document that the department has actually put together. As a client, the government does have the ability to share it with the committee, if they so choose, but it should be clear that it's the government that would be choosing not to share that document. There is no client-lawyer thing that would prevent them from doing that.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
